Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) Canada
A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that an employer in Canada may need before hiring a foreign worker. A positive LMIA will show that there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the job position and that no Canadian worker is available to do the job.
Employers can get the LMIA application processed according to their needs, either to support the foreign worker’s application for permanent residence or to hire them as a temporary foreign worker, or both.
To receive a positive LMIA, the employer must meet the minimum requirements set out by the Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC). At Park West Immigration, we help our clients with the process according to their requirements, in order to make the immigration process easier as well as remaining in compliance with the ESDC.
Four Basic Steps In Getting Canadian LMIA Job Offer
- The employer must apply for labour market opinion
- Employer extending temporary job market option to their foreign workers
- Skilled foreign workers applying for a job
- Issuing job offer post evaluating the skills of foreign workers
Attaining the temporary work permit Canada initially requires the clearance of Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) where a particular foreign worker must meet certain criteria. There is a certain class of people who exempt these criteria:
- Skilled workers who get covered under NAFTA agreement
- Intra-company transferees
- Working holiday permit holders
- Post-graduate temporary work permit holders
- Participants from private academic exchanges like postdoctoral fellows and visiting professors
Here the employer must send a detailed requirement regarding the need for foreign talent for their concern to Canada immigration agency attaching detailed job description that includes:
- Job title
- Job description
- Detailed explanation for the requirement
- Specifics about salary
- Name and address of the employer
After receiving all these details, the Canadian immigration agency will forward it to the CIC with the job offer and LMIA letter, and CIC will be giving the final approval.
